cfq-iosched: handle failure of cfq group allocation

commit 69abaffe upstream.

Cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() allocates struct blkcg_gq using GFP_ATOMIC.
In cfq_find_alloc_queue() possible allocation failure is not handled.
As a result kernel oopses on NULL pointer dereference when
cfq_link_cfqq_cfqg() calls cfqg_get() for NULL pointer.

Bug was introduced in v3.5 in commit cd1604fa ("blkcg: factor
out blkio_group creation"). Prior to that commit cfq group lookup
had returned pointer to root group as fallback.

This patch handles this error using existing fallback oom_cfqq.
